•Language development is critical for continuing education.
•I do not promote Basil Readers. Instead, I encourage discovery and vocabulary in the context of the original books.
•Children from cultures outside of what has become the U.S. model may be inhibited by learning and interacting styles that differ from their cultures approach to communication.
•Teachers need to build on concepts of learning that children have been exposed to by their parents.
•I understand that non-native speakers of English will need time to adjust and be unfamiliar with the language. I know this from my experiences with learning French.
